Chism v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Chism v. State, 310 Ark. 504 (Ark. 1992)
837 S.W.2d 479; 1992 Ark. LEXIS 551

Chism v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Harold Edward Chism, by his attorney has filed for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, Denny Hyslip, admits that the failure to file the record in time was due to a mistake on his part.

We find that such an error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See our Per Curiam opinion dated February 5, 1979, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
